The Anaheim Hills Rotary Club held its popular Oktoberfest Saturday at the Oak Canyon Nature Center.

The event, the club's only fundraiser, included favorites such as the wiener dog races, along with a hotdog eating contest that was new this year. There were activities for kids and families and lots of food.
